1. Why should harming a million people identically reduce their right to a fair legal evaluation and possibly compensation for damages? <-- maybe it makes sense for large corporations to carry insurance to pay for the potentially massive legal costs they could impose on governments? 2. Shouldn't we be able to quickly resolve these cases assuming there are no substantially different pieces of evidence?

Natural Selection (2) is close on a round-by-round basis, but isn't an RPG. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4920/Natural_Selection_2/

This is in the same vein as the advice I give to the overachiever junior/mid level engineers I mentor. They're constantly searching for the next big project or optimization. In the same way you need to sleep at night to process the day, you need a few weeks off every now and again to process your life/career.

I wanted to buy one. I technically could squeeze it out. I talked to a few folks who owned them (ok, 2 people that I sort of knew). They universally told me to hold off, that it was really expensive, that I should have my finances in order such that spending $100,000 (at the time) would feel like losing $1,000 to cancel a vacation so you could spend time with your sick grandma. Obviously this is just an anecdote, but everyone I've met who owned (not leased!) their Porsche was quite good with money.

First thing you do is email them a contract with a _reasonable_ consultant hourly rate. You literally handed them documentation in advance and they didn't bother to read or test it. Don't feel bad, don't get angry, get paid.

Also love the Rev - but rumor is it uses electricity to ebrake below 5mph. I generally just put my foot down at that point to come to a stop (or use the mechanical brake)
